The following details relative to the Mission of Captain BURNEY to Siam, are from the Cakutta Government Gazette of the 23d of February : The brig Guardian, with the Mission on board, on en tering the Gulf of Siam, experienced much difficulty in hearing up against the N. E. Monsoon, but reached the mouth of the Menam River on the 17th November. A pilot from the capital came on board on the 21st, but it was necessary to wait for the spring tides to cross the Bar: this , was on the 26th, when the brig crossed in 11-1 feet. Between that and the mouth of the River, a dis tance of 8 or 9 miles, the vessel was taken for the most part, and through the night tides only, through the mud, with a quarter less two fathoms of water. At Pakman Fort a demand was made for the brig to land her guns, but was not persisted in. _ . _ This Fort has been much enlarged since Mr. Craw-1 ford's Mission, and another opposite to it erected, and between these, about 100 yards from the right bank, a battery of 40 'pins has been constructed in the River, upon a foundation of loose stones: the construction does not appear very secure. In working up the River, the brig repeatedly came so close to the bank, that the boughs of the trees touched the cabin windows, and yet thelead showed from 5 to 7 fathoms ,water. The Menton is considered to be one of the finest rivers in the world: the map of it in Ktempfer's Japan, is said to be very correct. On the 4th of December, the vessel anchored off Mooung Mai, or New Town, •a large village on the right bank, inhabited mostly .• by emigrants from Pep. Other defences have been erected here. At this place ..a Deputation of several Siamese Chiefs of Rank, arrived to receive charge of . the Governor-General's letter—they arrived with a fleet of State boats, one of which Was to convey the letter, after it was placbd in a cup of red wood with • lozenges of mother of pearl : this cup is used to receive the letters of the King of Cochin China and the Emperor of China. —ln another of the boats, the Envoy embarked, accompanied by Capt..Maefarquhar and. Jose Pediado, the Port Captain. They arrived at Bankok at eight in the evening, and the Envoy took up his abode with Mr. Hun ter, an English merchant, who has been a resident in the Siamese capital for the last fifteen months. As soon as intimation of the . intended Mission arrived, the Prah Khang, or Chief Minister, commenced the construction of a house for its accommodation; but the building was not completed. Building a dwelling expressly for the Mission was said, to he a greater honour than if. they had been pro vided with, a house of gold.. This .house was occupied by the Mission on the 10th, and although hastily and unskil fully put together, was not uncomfortable. It had the ad- vantage also of being removed from the close surveillance of the: Minister, being near that part of the town inhabited by native Christians. - After several conferences with the Ministers, in which, although the most friendly sentiments were expreSsed, yet evident doubts of our having gained any serious or pen 7 manent advantages over the Burmese were exhibited, the Envoy was admitted to an audience of the King on the 16th December. Early on the morning of that day, the Mission left .the house in four .bosts. The first conveyed, the. Savoys: the second, Captain Macfarquhar, the Interpreter, and the Envoy with the Public Letter: the third the chairs of ceremony, and , the fourth, Captain Sutherland, Mr. Hunter, and a band of Siamese Music. Two or three hundred small boats, followed with Siamese Officers, and those whom curiosity had brought to witness the scene. On arriving at the opposite aide of the river, Captain Macfarquhar and the Envoy got into their chairs, and the rest of the gentlemen mounted the small horses which were in waiting with tolerably decent appointments. They proceeded in this manner as faro ;the gateway of the second Court, where the Native Christians only pulled off their shoes ,and stockings, whilst the Enioy and his companions were requested to dismount, to leave the Sepoys; and walk a short distance into .a hall, in which they found several Siamese, Officers in waiting, with state elephants standing outside. They were detained in this hall for about an hour, and then summoned into the presence of the King, who they were informed had taken his seat on the throne. On their way they passed through a body of Siamese troops, seated on their hands, with a railing on each side of the road, which was lined .by 2 or 300 drums, and other instru ments that made a tremendous noise. At the door of the hall of audience, all the Siamese attendants fell on their knees and forearms, in which posture they moved, before and, on each side. The moment the members of the Mis sion entered, anti saw. the King, which they could not im mediately do, as he was seated on a throne ten or twelve feet high, at the farther end of the hall, which appeared to have been purposely darkened, they made three profound bows, whilst the Siamese struck their heads on the ground, and raised their hands joined to their foreheads the same munber .of times. They then moved on about twenty paces, where they again bowed, and the Siameie made their obeisances three times, after which they sat down on the carpet that covered the floor. At a signal from the Chief, entitled Phya Phi Phut, the Envoy roseJiolding the ; G o vernor-General i siletter over his,' head, 'and advancing six or eight paces beyond the Chief, where a gold vase No b ee n placed, he deposited the letter upon it, and then ta ki ng out the English address which be had prepared, read it out with a loud ,voice, and.plaeing it by, the side of the Governor-General's letter, retired to his seat, keeping his face towards the King. The whole of the English Gentlemen then, as had been previously settled, joined their hands anti raised them three times against the fore head. His Majesty desired that they should approach him nearer, and they were moved eight or ten paces in ad vanes, A Chief then read out a list .of the presents, pronounced tint a complimentary s pe e ch previously pre pared, in reply. The King put a umber of questions to the Envoy • many of them were frivolous, but others indicated his being tolerably well acquainted with the state of affairs i n the vicinit of his kingdom.. He was much p leased with Captain Burney'S son, a boy of six year s of a g e, wh o had been conducted to the audience by the previous desire of ordered some toys. to,be prep are d, w hich were t he minister, and for whom his MaJe st Y 'l presented to him at the el*to of the audien ce . During the whole of the interview, His Majesty was masticating betel very diligently. After the conversation had cease d, a Siamese officer, bearing an instrument i n the who e of a scep ' tre, and seated on t he floor some way in advance of the mission, rose upon his knees' and made three obeisances eisances to the king, w ho t ook up his k r i s , 4nfi noise like the stroke of a, wand was heard, on w hi c h 'Maine of go ld cloth were immed iatel y before the king's thr one. The whole of the Siamese then me de teir usual obei sance s towards the curtains. The hall of audi ence is about 120, feet long by 60 f eet broad, and is 40 feet hi g h. I t is supported by on each of which hangs a Chi neae painting on g lass, repre aenting an English otlicer,or lady ; th e t h ro ne is in shape like a bolt, placed upon a platform, with a s mall canopy, the wh o le cove r e d with go ld . The k•turw ore a* close dress of cloth of gold, and d I it: a rests of muslin over h e had no crown. Immediately the , throne sat the Princes of the blood, Brid on each side the ministers ac- cording to their relati ve ran k s • t h e c ourtiers wore generally the same sort of dress as ;be king, or transparent muslin robes over Surat kinkhabs. Several Chinese and Cochin Chinese were pro,enr, a s were some Laos officers, resembling Gorkhas in appearance, but richly habited. On leaving the hall of the audience, the Envoy, and the gentlemen who accompanied hi m , were taken to see the white elephant and one or two of the temples.' On the 19th the Envoy was presented to the Wag-na with the same state and ceremony as at his presentation to the king, with the exceptio n o f ma king but . one bow in place of three : the same questions as those put by the king were repeated by the Wag-na. This chief; who is usually called by the native Christians the Second King, is a brother of the late monarch : he exercises an especial superintendence over the Southern and Malayan states, and is described as a benevolent good humoured man, partial to Europeans. He is a good portly figure, and during the audience was smoking a cigar. On .the night of the 29th a third presentation took place to Prince Krom, Mean Sitrin, an Uncle of the present King, and Superintendant of the Foreign and Commercial relations—he is a mild, good-looking man, about 38 years of age; there was less ceremony on this than on the two former occasions, but it was of the same nature, and nearly the same questions were addressed to this Envoy. The manner in which the Envoy has been received' is clearly indicative of feelings of respect, and there has been no deficiency on the score of civility at leas t. We learn that abundance of rice has been sent for the use of the escort by order of the King. The residence of the Mis sion does not appear to be watched, and the members are allowed to visit freely most parts of the town. The prin cipal Ministers furnish alternately supplies of fruit and ve getables, and the King's Steward has sent w . it is said, by special command, several, dishes of meat, cooked in the Siamese fashion, which i s reported to be not particularly agreeable to European palate: the Wag-na shows the Mission similar attentions, and a boat -with ten men are placed at its disposal. The members of the Mission do not appear to think very highly of the Siamese force from what they saw of it. The Cavalry were ill dressed and equipped, and mounted on Pegu ponies, which, though strong service a bl e - an i ma ls, we r e as r oug h an d coarse as in a state of nature. The Infantry, even of the King's Body Guard, were poor, thin, ill set race, armed with old rusty muskets; the most formidable force, consisted of a party of stout able bodied men, each armed with a thick stick. The Siamese Soldier, when detached against the Burmese frontiers, for the purpose of making captives, or as they term it catching the Burmese, is supplied with musket, a bamboo full of rice, and a hoe, With which last instrument he digs a hole for himielf, in which he lies con cealed, until some of the enemy come near enough to be surprised. These incursions, for the sake of carrying off prisoners, attended with the perpetration of every act of ravage and cruelty, appear to have been the principal mode in which the long subsisting enmity between the Burmese and Sia mese Governments has tnanifesti4.l its existence for some years past. No course or hostilities could be more ruinous to the population of the bordering districts, and such of them as may eventually come under our authority,will gain a blessing of no slender value, in protection against these harassing and - destructive inflictions. ' • CLARE, LIMERICK, AND KERRY. THE COUNTY OF CLARE. This county extends from Galway along the course of the At-. lantie, on the west and south-west, and is bounded on the east and south-east by the Shannon. Those parts which border on the ocean, and are attached to Galway, are barren, and only pro. doctive in feeding sheep on a short ',met herbage, which gives the . mutton. a peculi.o ly delicious flavour. The other dis tricts in the line of the Shannon are very fertile. The commu nication to the, upper parts of the county is still very imperfect, and strangers who cannot manage to climb rocks, sod make a journey opt the back of a wild pony, hid better give up the attempt to penetrate further . than Ennis. To that town a mail coach de parts every evening from Limerick. At each side of the road it travels, the most valuabggrexing lands lie., Durin g the war, itnniense herds of oxen, weighing from six to eight hundred Weight each, were fed and sold for the Government contracts to the pro , vision dealers at Limerick or Cork. That was the golden age of the county of Clare, and the grazier' advanced from a humble condition of life to the rank of gentry, and established a permanent footing in the halls of the old Irish Aristocracy. The middle men were then in Paradise ; they took farms and they re-let them. I have known a plough-boy acquire 2,00 01 . a - year in that way. As all their leases were made for lives, the Sums paid to the Insurance Offices to protect their interests were immense, and the agents of Companies scarcely known in London tOatle fortunes ! The graxier's system was this—he took a farm Of SOO acres, or several farms of that site, at a rent of from 2!. 9s. to 3/. an acre. If the land was of the primest quality, it fattened one bullock each acre. The grazier bought his stock et the fairs Of Ballynasloe,Lougreagh, or Spans-hill—the first in October, the two latter in the spring. He selected at Ilallynalloe some hundred head of cattle, four years old, which be fed on hay, not in yards but in open fields, during the winter and spring, and then turned them out in May, on the pasture for six months, when they were ready for the market. Those bought in the spring were turned put at once to be fattened. These store cattle were bought.from 2 . /. to 154 earth, and cost, in hay feeding and the rent of an acre, about Si. more; awl they produced, on the average, in the merchant's cellar, from *2l. to 951. each. The expenses of keep ing up the farms were very moderate on this ardent ; a few herds luau were the only persons employed in a greet tract of coun t ry . The grazier rode on horseback once or twice a week over his pastures. The heaviest cattle were selected for the planters' tables an Jamaica, and fetched& rate higher by some shillings than any other. The next in quality were put up . for the East India ship ping; the middling for his Majesty's Nary in tierces and barrels; mid the lightest, including corn beef, was packed in barrels for general ship use. With the peace came a great alteration in the condition of the county Clare gentry. Many of them who held their heads high were bowed down to their original duet. The tail rents of farms were put an end to, and- the insurances of interests were given up. There was nothing but breaking and smashing among them. Latterly matters have settled down mare quietly, and the present state of the county may be 'thus destnibed. A few gra ziers still retain their lands, for a supply of fat cattle is always wanted for the Navy, and the East and West Indian provisions, but at mute reduced from 31. to 2!. au acre. 'During the last year, however, a small rise has taken place of 10e. en acre, and this day's rent of the best laud may be taken at 45e. to 50s. The farmers and graziers are now turning their attention to dairy keeping, and making butter, for the Limerick market.; The largest proprietor has but 40 COO, : and the ordinary stock is mot more than seven o r eight. The butter isorade in churn barrels, which are turned by two women. The milk is set fir two or th r ee days, and the cream taken off,' and put into the churn. The skimmed milk which has become soar is given to the poor, or by the avaricious sold to them. A firkin of butter contains about half a cwt. When a stdfieient number are filled, they are drawn on Cara into Li mer i c k, and sold to the exporter at a va ty; 'from the same sense, year. Throughout this wen !nation of qualities settled by a aware inaPectur. In consequence t h er e h as been a total failure of the bay , of the i ex sl4 tre ttch mely iers, dr , y them p r, a ulo a l wi thi prhing Kummer, the' return of crop, and .tat article is expected to reavha very high price be fore the next harvest. The feel of the entire county is t u rf, and a great portion of it is taken up with bogs. On the banks of the Shannon there is a daily aril& to Limerick, in boats of 15 to 20 tons, of this commodity, aced latterly the distillers in that city; Meta& Stein and Brown, have made it available for their 'fires. The gentry of Clare live on better terms together than those of s oy other county. Happily there are neither political nor reli gious distinctions among them, and all attempts to inflame the passions of the people are regularly defeated., This good under standing is owing to the kind feeling which prevails between the Roman Catholic Priests and the Ministers of the E.,tabliabed Church. I think the Roman Catholic Bishop, Dr. O'Shaug nessy, is one of the finest men I ever saw, and the concurrence of all dames declare him to be one of the beat. Dining the rebellion of 1798, this county was the part of Ire land where the least impression was made. .The . peasantry are a very poor and hard-faroured race, except in the immediate vici nity of Drornoland, (Sir Edward °Brien's). I. forgot to say that hihourer`a wages is' here Bd. to 10d. a-day. COUNTY OF LIMERICK. This county is spread along the Shannon, opposite to It is one of the largest counties in Ireland, and is, perhaps, one of the most' fertile. There is one district, called the Golden Vein, which is not exceeded in richness by any land in the ern pire. The farmers tell you it is inexhaustible. Parts of this county are employed in grating cattle on the same trtem as that of Clare ; the remainder is devoted to tillage and dairy. The mode of farming is this :—You take one or two crops of potatoes, then a crop of flax, and lastly, four or five successive -crops of oats, or a crap of pot4bies 7 -then a crop of wheat,' barley, and o,its, in succession; after which,if you choose to lay down the ground, it will get into heart in ten years without any artificial means. The wheat is, perhaps, the hest in Ireland—indeed, the barley and oats bear also a high character, and fetch the top price of Irish grain at Liverpool market, to which it is all exported.-- The present present average rents are from 21. Lis. to 01. an erre. Many farms let now at these rates brought Si. and Id. 10‘. during the war. The dairy business is conducted on a very large scale, and with more arrangement than in Clare. A speculator buys 100 or 200 cows, which be feeds on ground paying from Ms. to 425. per acre. Instead of employing dairy people himself, he lets the cows out in lots of SO or 40 each, to men who undertake .to pay I him one cwt. 'of butter, and from V. 10s. to 5/. in money for each cow. The butter is made of the cream Skimmed from the - ' milk, and there is only ow person who has courage to follow the improved and modern method of churning the whole as drawn from the cow, after an interval of 12 hours. Within twelve miles of Limerick, at a place called Ilerbertatown, there is a difs trict peculiarly suited to the cultivation of flax. The people are all employed in this trade, and with so much advantage to.them selves, that a friend informs me, in the scarcity. of gold, some years ago, he picked up 2,000 guineas in the village of Herberts town alone. ~ great deal of the county of Limerick is the property of ab sentees, the principal of whom are the Earl of Limerick, Lord Courtenay, of infamous character, Lori Mount Earl, Count de Selig, and the Earl of Egremotit. Let Mae Culloch lecture as he pleases, facts will brat him for ever—the degraded s tate of t h e peasantry of this rich county is in the teeth of his theory. Agents under agents, and tithe proctors, grind them as they please ; and the certain result is, that there is more burning, slaughter, and assassination, in the county Limerick, than in any other part of Munster. The city of Limerick, sixty miles from the sea, on the river Shannon, is situate at the junction of tike comities of Clare, Lime rick, and Tipperary, and is admirably adapted to receive the pro duce of all. During the war it was a place of considerable trade, and largely employed in the preparation of provisions for the navy, though never so extensively as Cork. At present its trade con filets in the exportation of corn to Liverpool and Scotland, and of bacon and butter to London. A new bridge is in progress over the Shannon to Clare ; when completed, it will add much to the beauty of the city, and the Ma.. tive situation of both. The new town of Limerick is as handsomely built as Glou cester-place, or Baker-street. Houses let from seventy to eighty guineas a year ; those during the war let at one hundred and thirty guineas. • Living k Antos moderate, aud-shs qnalisy-of provision excel. lent. Beef and mutton at preaent are sd. a lb. ; 10.04 la.M. a couple • fresh butter la. a lb. ; whisky fie. 3d. a galhm. The price of labour in the town of Limerick is Is. a day, in the country 10(1.

Of this county one has little more to say thou that it is altogether taken up in grazing dairy cowl, and preparing the best butter which is sent to Cork. Tralee is the only port in the county, and its► trade is limited to a little dealing in corn, and the import of timber and groceries. The land is of a poor quality, and goes in lots of 30 or 40 acres, at ,gas an acre, with an indefinable quantity of mountain land. The gentry , are hospitable and generous. It was once called the Land of Promise, for no man kept his word in. money matters--" Pay me my money, or if you don't"—was generally, a Kerry man's demand for a debt. " I owe you no money—and if I did"—was his neighbour's certain reply. The Condition of the poor is very bad. Labour is worth not more than 16d. a-day. How a man and w►fe and a dozen children can live upon it, the staved peasantry of Kerry can best answer. An iron !;team -vessel, for navigating the Savannith, is constructing at New York, the whole cost of which will not exceed 6441. A SNAKE.EATER.—A man in Underhill, Vt. a few dayS since, swallowed the head, and a considerable portion of the neck, of a large striped snake. 'laving disposed of the head, for A more liberal compensation, he offered to swallow the remain ing part of the serpent ; but the spectators were already satisfied with his performance. The unsavoury meal proved rather dinf►., cult of digestion, but the stomach of this snake-eater was less affected than those of the astonished spectators. The man after wards stated that the snake's bead operated as a powerful cathartic, and did hint two dollars service. -.. American Paper. LADY-Brans.--(From a Brighton Paper.)—The great fall at Brighton, and in the sea near that place, of the in sects commonly known by the name of " /adle birds" is by no means an unprecedented) occurrence. A similar fall took place some years ago in and near Rochester, when the " lady-birds" infested, as long as they lived, that city, and left, after their death, a disgusting scent, which was retained in the shops for many mouths. At a more recent period, • myriads of the same insects were observed on the hop.plants in the neighbourhood of Alsiti stone ; and the plants having failed there that year, the poor " lady-birds" were precipitately condemned—probably by hop factors, who have always recourse to "the fly or the lie "—as the cause of the failure. Investigation, however, soon discovered that this judgment was tf roneous. The injury to the hop-plents was found to have been produced by a class of much sninuter, insects, that had been doing mischief previous to the visit of the "lady birds ;" and the latter were satisfactorily'aseertained to lutist rested in the plantation only with a view to p t i l in v ts ou . r the it is form m e ; r t , o w ft h n o '4; 1 7 4 1 dletsetrre°Yinetssuaøshf the e iltitwles ti have swarmed this Li th d e y t .. t b n i d ri e7 a i p li x n a g r season.

James Collins was arraigned and chargt.d with the fill murder of Ellen, his wife, on the 13th April, at Wt. itboleen. The evidence for the prosecution having closed, and no witness coiled upon for the defence, his Lordship. charged the Jury, and after minutely recapitulating the evidence, refered the case to their consideration, who then retired, and, after deliberating a short time, returned a verdict of Guilty. • The Learned Baron then placed, upon labs head the awful symbol of justice, and passed sentenee , upon the prisoner, in the usual forM, ordering him for execution to4norrow (Friday), and his body to he given to the env. geons for dissection. The prisoner appeared very much flushed throughout the trial, the ordeal of which, he stood without being much affected, until his child appeared on the table, and from t het moment. his self-possession left him, and he sob bed bitterly ; held a handkerchief. in his , hand, and occa sionally wiped his face, while. the Jury were deliberating. The instant they pronounced the verdict, his lips quiv ered, he trembled, and leant on the bar, where he re mained, almost motionless, during the time Baton Penne father WRS addressing him ; and, after the sentence was passed, such was his apathy; that one of the turnkeys had to rouse him twice before he left the bar-still without uttering a syllable. Auousr 3. Patrick Connell and Maurice Council were indicted for highway robbery, alleged to have been committed by them on the night of the 16th of July last. This came was con ducted by the Crown Prosecutors. John Callaghan, examined by Mr. Quin.—Witness re- sides at Liakellane, in the county of Cork : was that night on his way from his house to the city of Cork. He bad a quantity of butter for sale. A woman of the name of Bridget Walsh was in his car. About the hour of twelve o'clock at night he was stopped at a place called &he rish, between the towns of Mallow and Buttavant, by three men; one of them had a gun, another had a case of pistols, and the third was armed with a bayonet fixed upon a pole. The man who was armed with a gun demanded from witness money. He said he had none. That man was the prisoner, Patrick Connell. Upon this Petrick Connell called out to the other prisoner, Maurice, to search witness's pockets. Maurice took from off his person three shillings, which he handed to Patrick : Maurice, after that, 4 the command of Patrick, went to the car, and tookaway (Orkin of butter. !a positive that the man who had the gin in hiabond was the prisoner, Patrick Connell. [Here the prisoner addressed the Court in a very em,: phatic manner from the dock--" Oh, my Lord, 44 not be lieve a word of it. I declare to the Almighty God that 1 in fired a gun in my life," then, turning to the witness, he said," You are swearing against our lives, and God will confound you yet.") • Witness told what had happened to the, police. He stated that he.knew a young man of the name of Burke. Re knew Bake not to be a man of good character, and it Occurred to him that ,Burke was one of these that had robbed hint.

Here the ease closed, and. the Judge had proceeded for some short time in charging the Jury, when the pri soner, Patrick, who laboured under dr ead ful agitation, ex claimed—" My Lord, my Lord, we are innocent men.—. Oh, can't l.get a character ?—Where is Sir James An. derson?—W here is Mr. O'Leary?—Where is Mr. milton? Any of them can give us the best character."
